Return of the Magnificent Seven is a good sequel that picks up ten years after the first one ended. The story follows Chris, the gunman in black, who is trying to free Chico, from the original seven, from a bandit who has kidnapped the men from several small villages. Joining Chris is another group that he puts together to help him free his old friend, Chico. This is an exciting movie that examines several questions about the Old West. What if ten years after it happened these men are beginning to think if they have accomplished anything or what is their value? The movie poses this question as the seven ride to Chico's rescue.
The only returning star from the original is Yul Brynner who takes the role of Chris again and plays it to perfection. Robert Fuller takes the role of Vin, previously played by Steve McQueen. This movie could have been much better with McQueen in the role. Other members of the Seven include Warren Oates, Claude Akins, Julian Mateos, Virgilio Texiera, and Jordan Christopher. Also starring are Emilio Fernandez, Elisa Montes, and Fernando Rey. Part of the problem with this sequel is that the characters are not as likable as those in the original. The film is still very good, but just doesn't reach the same level of the first one. Elmer Bernstein's music is still one of the greatest movie soundtracks of all-time. The DVD is pretty good with a widescreen presentation and theatrical trailer included. Different tone than the original Magnificent Seven(still a classic) but a good movie nonetheless. Check it out!

Yes this one is darker than the first, but I don't think that's a bad thing. It's a very good film if accepted for it's what it is: a great Western. I'm glad they didn't just copy the first but came up with a different and darker approach that really drew me in. I know that the party line has been to dislike this sequel, but man is it great! Some have said on here that there's no character development. Not true! There's plenty of depth here. Not as much humor as the first perhaps, but it's gritty and really entertained this Western fan. Great cast. Great action. Plenty of absorbing character elements that drew me in. Much better than some say it is. I loved every second of this movie.

This film (for almost no reason) was called drab and boring. It is neither. Explosive, exciting action scenes (the last one where they fend off hunreds of outlaws), great backrounds, and a good story is not what I call drab and dull. I don't care if Steve McQueen was absent, in fact I was relieved. He gave a boring, wooden indian performance in the first film (not to mention boring diologe. I did miss Charles Bronsan (who was killed in the first one).
There's almost no dull moments, so go rent it or buy it. It's a good pick for action or western fans. Peace out!

Return of the Seven is Less than Magnificent
The producers of the Return of the Seven just banked on the name,on Yul Brynner and on Elmer Bernstein's great score and the result is a very dull ,exhausting western. Read more

Hollywood made needless sequels even back in the 1960s
This lackluster sequel to John Sturges' classic, "The Magnificent Seven", is missing that combination of humor, drama, and bravado that made its predecessor a film to... Read more
